Sounds like you AIM and get the benefit for a certain amount of time, rather than having to AIM between every shot. Haven't actually logged in to test it yet but that's how it sounded based on the announce.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how the hell AIM works now. I've tried AIM, AIM <target>, AIM <target> <dir>, both in and out of the target's room, and nothing happens.

Halp!

From my testing, AIM seems to be functionally exactly the same as it was before. It just doesn't break if you accidentally squint or something between the aim and the shoot, I believe.

Aim seemed like it still needs the direction input as well. Only shooting/sniping can be done without specifying a direction. So it's only really practical to leave out the direction if you can't aim. Because if you can aim, you still need to provide a direction.

That's what I found out a few days ago, at least. I don't know that anything has changed since then.

So, I totally accidentally hid a section (the combat one) on these forums. I looked around but I cannot seem to find how to unhide it.

Any suggestions?

Sena

On the left of the home page, above the tags, you should see:

Category Filter

Viewing: all categories | followed categories

Click "all categories" and it will show the ones you've hidden, so you can unhide them.

Melodie

@Sena, you're a star.

Arador

Um what's going on with the Golden Dias on mobile? The entire page is overlaid with the forum jail emblem and if I click on any thread I get taken to @Jhui 's profile. CSS bugout? 

Melodie

@Jhui has overtaken the Golden Dias. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

Jhui

My jailing was brought forth (understandably) by a righteous effort to make this game and community better by ridding it of filth, so the forums naturally are going to suffer for a short while.

Everything comes at a price.

You can post whilst in forum jail?  Does it just stop you from creating new threads, then?

Until he's released, @Jhui is basically the equivalent of the guy in jail playing harmonica and crooning about that woman what done him wrong.  If he does another soulful rendition of "Ol' Man River", he might actually get banned.

How do you use the enchantment scrolls? Particularly for waterwalking and stasis.

Is there a list somewhere of what weapon holders/sheathes/scabbards/backstraps/etc. work with what weapons? I've worked out that I can use belt loops for axes but not sure if I can use any other containers.

Also if anyone still needs the kitten description - I hope it's okay if I post it (don't want to break any rules):

Wide, yellow eyes peer out from a frame of black fur that makes up this little kitten's face. 

Looking akin to a ball of fuzz, a puffy tail whips back and forth in playful frenzy as tiny claws 

poke out from just as tiny paws. Twitching and flickering around a small nose, silvery whiskers 

indicate this feline's playful intent.

Tecton

Hi @Mehitabel!

RECITE <scroll> ON <item you want enchanted> to use a scroll, and HELP SHEATHING will tell you which weapons can be held in each of the different weapon carriers.

Hope this helps!

It only does it occasionally, though.

Sorry, but combining a Patrick Stewart picture with a caption containing dubious grammar is just tasteless.

You should be ashamed.

I've encountered similar with this before. I had attacked my golem once as a test, and then went to target and attack a spectre and it seemed to default to the last thing I attacked instead (my golem).

The way I hunt is generally to attack my 'target' variable, and then use serverside targeting from then on. But for whatever reason, when I attacked the spectre it didn't automatically change the serverside target. I dunno why, but my golem hated me for it.

This was all with staff casting.

Alaskar

It was initially only with the golem, and then it started doing it regardless of target. Specifically, during spars with Avianca (couldn't untarget golem) and then Invictus (Couldn't untarget Avianca) it's like it takes a moment to register the target change.

Jukilian

Figure out a reliable way to repeat the bug, and submit it.

What exactly does the effect of the new Star sigil do?

When thrown at the ground, spreads reflective dust everywhere.

For a time, shows you when any hidden person leaves the room, including via evade.

Kenway

Does not show hidden people leaving. Only works on evade. I bugged this and was told it is intentional but may be expanded to include hidden later if they deem it needed (I don't think it will be)

Being hidden doesn't hide movement at all. Being cloaked/shrouded does, but you can already see cloaked/shrouded movement with hypersight or alertness. Evade was the only thing that couldn't be seen through with general skills (there have been ways for certain class abilities to detect evade, like engage).

My reason for bugging is that the wording of the sigil's description sounded to me like it was meant to show all hidden movement with evade as the primary but not only example. Had just assumed it'd work through shroud (I meant shrouded not hidden above)

Amarillys

Being hidden does hide movement. I didn't think it did at first but I've tested it constantly to be sure and it does. In fact, in the tests with Kenway earlier, I was hidden and left the room with evade. It showed. When I went back and just walked out, they did not see me leave. No ghost. No cloak. Just HIDE.

Sena

If being hidden hides movement, it's a recent (within the last couple months) change. I have logs as recent as December (probably some more recent, but that's the latest one I can find where the log shows that the serpent is definitely hidden) of being able to see a hidden serpent's movement, and it's been visible for as long as I've been playing.

Rom

Woodlore HIDE does hide movement, which I bugged a while ago (at least before November, as far as my messages go back). The bug was removed as it was deemed to not be a bug. I can't say whether or not Tsol'aa/Serpent versions are the same as I haven't tested them and usually have lifevision up.

Definitely don't remember it being that way before, hence the bug report. 

Sena

Woodlore hide definitely didn't used to hide movement (that's what metamorphosis stealth was for).

Cooper

It was more fun when I was telling people it gave everyone in the room a reflection.

Jukilian

I only briefly looked at what it did and saw it shot out 'reflective dust' etc, so that's what I thought at first.

Walked into a room and was like, 'Check this out!' *throws star sigils at ground* Hmm, I don't have a reflection. *diagnose* Oh. Crap. What have I done.

Aquil

Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong with my queuing? I have an alias to send:

sendAll("queue add eqbal throw " ..firstaxe.. " at "..target
"queue add eqbal throw " ..secondaxe.. " at "..target,
"queue add eqbal throw " ..thirdaxe.. " at "..target )

but it's stuttering really hard and this seems to happen with all my other queues. It gets ahead of itself and won't wait to just throw all one after the other.
